Putting Money Back into Students' Pockets
This year, to celebrate the Leadership Elections, we pledge to donate 10p to the Access Fund for every individual who votes. And if we reach 3500 voters, then we will double this to 20p!
On a committee for a student group? Make sure to round up your members and get them to vote. The group that gets the best voter turnout (or reaches 100% first), gets £50!
Lastly, for the department that has the best voter turnout, we’ll be putting on a pizza social just for you!
